A Progressive Chinaman. Alex. Swe cot, in Texas SigIings.

Some minimizing people have as- serted that the Chinaman Is not capa- bio of being thoroughly christianised. This is doing the Chinese grcat injustice, for last year Mongolian graduated at Harvard, He was an adept at smoking cigarettes, and a good base ball pitcher,
 Thec are other proofs that the Chinaman is amenablc to the soften ing influences of our civilization. An American clergyman in Denver spont the best part of year converting a Chiaman His efforts were finally rewarded hy tho Asiatic suggesting the proposition that his spiritual ad l. wiser should "put in" and start faro bank
 IL has even been asserted that the Chinaman was destitute ot humor, or sarcasm, but this idea was knocked in formed our minister that he intended to reorg,aize the Chinese navy on tho American plan,
 While 1t cannot be denied that John Chlnaman Is a wish he- washy sort ot an individual, it is also true that he looks out fur tho main chance The wages of sin is death, but the wages ot An Sin are fifty cents a dozen.
 He has to put up with a gicat deal ol abuse, but he manages ta get there" all the same In the language ot the poet
 You shootce mo and haugee me
 You hootee me aud lstnEre mo
 Me aoee Murkcc, gcttoc bao,ile
 Live on tatcc, poodle
 Oh me liNco. oh, sd chcapeo.
 And mo workcc while you Strcpee. If cumulative evidence were needed as to the tendency of the Chinaman Ia adapt himself to his surroundings 1t can be found in the fact that Jon An Now. the trusted cashier ot the Mott street firm of Hong Wah. King kce x Co, has skipped to Canada, prcsuma- bly ea route to China. He k accom-. panied by several thousand dollars of the firms money In China this k m immense fortune. Jon Ah Mow Is what Mir. Ferdinand Ward would call daisy, or perhaps more appropri- ately China Astor
 We read the signs oi Ah Tom, An Sing, but u more appropriate name for Jon An Mow would be An Ther In regard to the missing funds the creditors are prepared to Siy, Good byc Jon. The term the Chincsc must go" does not apply to him. He has gone already, never to return.

Five Unhappy Complies Need Not Live
Longer Together
The hopper OF the divorce mill jumped
lively for q ehort time yesterday and turned
out five cases in which the nuptial knot was
dissolved.
Mrs. Jane j. Belcher was tho first to get
free. Her maiden name was Jane j. Shea,
which she is permitted to resume, and she
married Michael Belcher Feb. Is, 1885, the
ceremony being performed by Rev. W. II.
MARYLAND, Presbyterian minister. Michael,
for some reason, took notion into hls
head that this service was no good, and as.
sertiDg that no marriage would be binding
solemnized by a Protestant, cleared out,
and made the desertion of the wife absolute
by denying her and refusing: to live with
her.
Abraham Kroon was an unhappy hus-
hand, and could not get along with what
! fc considered his worse half, Sarah Kroon.
| They were married In Washington ,unty,
Md, Dec. %, 1856, but soona discovered
there was no unity Of thought or bond OF
sympathy existing between them. Mrs X.
was high spirited, Ill tempered, and made
things warm for her hubby until she cleared
out, and left him In possession of the es
| tablisbment. He then came to Georgetown,
opened n saloon, and tried to bridge over
| the troubles with his wife, The peace policy
Gid not long prevail, and she deserted once
more. This time he permitted her to re.
main away, and the chancery court dis
solves the marriage.
A singular case somewhat Is that OF Mary
| II. Duncan, decreed divorce from James III.
Duncan. They were married in Tarrytown,
| N. Y, Oct. 25, 1865 came to this city, resided
some SytaIs aud then returned to the En-
| pire state, subsequently coming again to
this District. She charges him with being
sn habitual drunkard, and for the past 8
| years compelled her to support herself.
Mrs Regina b. Brown was granted a
| divorce from Edward +. Brown and given
| the custody OF their child She charged
| him with cruel treatment and adultery with
Sadie Todd. The last case was that Of
lora II. G. Feete. She married Thos II B.
Feete Apr. 16, 1865, in LIttlestown, Adams
county, Pa, and he deserted her July 10,

NEW YORK, November S-Iast nights
estimate of the county results was too
modest. We have swept New York State
by an average plurality oftwenty thousand.
Fellows triumph by a much larger
plurality is most illustrious. All realize
that the magnificent support given to his
candidacy by Cleveland, KenDa, German,
Hill, Hewett and other eminent Demo-
c:ats WAS one of the chief reasons Of his
glorious yindication against malignant as
saults. Georges vote is light in the state
Cook is undoubtedly elected. The Senate
and Assembly are probably still Republican
in spite of Democratic gains as predicted
last night. But later returns may yet
show Democratic success. Chaplin, DEM
ocratic, is elected Mayor in Brooklyn.
The labor vote in this city was divided In
the proportion of One-balf TO George and
oae-third between the Democrats aud Re-
publicans, the latter getting small pur-
chasable fragment for Nicoll. The signti-
canoe of this is that the workmen who left
the namocTatic party ayear ago have come
home sgaiD. The latest figures show that
Fellows runs far ahead OF all his associates
on the county ticket, and every one says

When the newspaper man asked Capt.
Clements if there was anything new on the
tapis he received a negative answer, and the
car started for Benwood. Presently Capt.
Clements noticed the yearning, hungry
look on the fiend's face, and calling him
back into the car, gave him a nice little
item 70 the following effect:
1.-THE B. & o. has to-day consummated
the purchase of all the land lying bet Seen
Fortieth and Forty-tbird streets and be-
tween McCol!och and Wetzel streets
What the B & O. Company will do with
this land is i'll the future, but 10 a close
observer the indications might point to
important improvements
That is sbOu; what the Captain said,
and he seemed to be glad thst be could
give the reporter the important iDforma-
tion. Further questioning failed to elicit
any more facts, AS the best General
Manager the b. & U. ever had, vas re-
ticIent about the future intentions of the
company.
The piece Of property purchased by the
company was owned by Steven A. Water
house, with the exception OF two lots at
the corner Of McCOliOch and Fortieth
streets, which was owned by DR.. +. ".
Hazlett, and was transferred by him TO the
B, & o. Company by deed dated October
l, and which was put on record yesterday.
The amount paid Tor these two lots was
81, 600 ard that paid for the remainder Of
the property To Mr.. Waterh0use. SIC. .010
The price of land is $50 deep and / 200
feet In length. To what Use the B. 4 o.
Company intends putting this land is OBJ
yious to the reader. For several years
past reports have been waited On the
breezes to the effect that the company was
about ready to build new and extensive
shops, and still they are unbuilt, and peo-
pie had come to the conclusion they would
entertain that chestnut no more. For
three long years the B. 4 y. and
the owners of the property have
been dickering, with the result
mentioned above, and nov We are assured
that it will not be many months before
work will he commenced on the erection Of
commodi0us aud extensive shops, along
with large round house. The deal was
made by MIR. ". V. Hoge, for the B. & o.
company, and j. P. Rodgers, Esq, for
Mr. WaterhOuse
II is also understood that the company
is negotiating for the purchase of another
piece of lanG either on the west or south OF
the present purchase, and if they can
secure it for reasonable figure il will be
bought.
So the march Of progress in Wheeling
continues steadily forward with firm,
substantial tread that IS irresistible.
